Hallie and Haylie Essenmacher, 6 year old twin daughters of Scott and Kerri Essenmacher of Harbor Beach, reached a goal they made in their young lives.

It was about a year ago when mom, Kerri, had explained the Locks of Love to both of the girls. She had the Internet site to show children who are suffering from different health issues that include loss of hair. Hallie and Haylie wanted to help another child smile and feel happy again, however, their ponytails didnt yet reach the 10 length requirements.

The twins reached their goal this summer and on Aug. 24, Michelle Duggan, who is owner and operator of Head Lines in Harbor Beach, gave the twins a new hairstyle. Hallie, Haylie and their mom completed the necessary forms from the Internet and mailed their ponytails the same morning their hair was cut.

The family is very proud of the girls, however, the grandpas look forward to them growing long hair again.

Locks of Love needs ten ponytails to make one hair prosthetic and the cost of $1,000 from Locks of Love. Information is available online at www.locksforlove.com.
